Xiao Ting has always been aware of her situation.
It's just that she never cared about it, because the best state of life is to be at ease, except for the responsibilities she must bear, she will not take the initiative to look for trouble.
She tried to figure out how Xie Jingtian was or how the current Chu Jiyao woke up several times.
But Concubine Chen didn't say a word about it, only revealed that one day, someone put Chu Jiyao under Yuntai Mountain and left.
Xiao Ting naturally didn't believe this, but she had no choice but to hide the doubt in her heart and talk about it later.
She believes that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, nor is there any permanent secret.
When the First Prince returned to Beijing, the whole world was shocked.
The emperor held a grand banquet and entertained all the guests, and the kings of Fan also gathered one after another and came to the imperial city. For a while, the imperial city became lively again.
Xiao Ting didn't care so much, Chu Jiyao sent her to the door of Xiao's house, and then left, saying that he would come to find her when he was done with work.
Xiao Ting didn't care and responded casually.
Now that she is no longer the Ninth Concubine, and Xiao Shi and the others have also moved out, she went back to the Xiao Mansion, ready to ask.
Who ever thought of the gate, but couldn't get in.
She didn't know the two guards at the gate, and was stopped by someone. She was in a good mood and waited for them to report, but after a long time, no one came out to answer, and she was not allowed to go in.
As soon as Xiao Ting rolled her eyes, she knew what it meant.
He's meowing, even if he enters his house and is blocked outside, it must be the fault of those two old women.
"Sister, is this your home?" Er Gouzi looked at the majestic gatehouse, longing for it.
"This is my father's house." It's not her house now either.
"Then why don't they let us in?"
Xiao Ting raised a bright smile at the corner of her mouth, took his hand and strode forward, and the two gatekeepers immediately stopped them, "You can't go in until the old lady has given orders."
"What do you order? This girl still wants to report when she returns to her home? What kind of reason is this? Get out of the way."
Xiao Ting didn't care about anything, and just rushed in. No matter what, she also knows three-legged cat kung fu, and those at the door were no opponents at all.
Being barged in by her, Xiao Ting quickly grabbed a girl and asked, "Where is my father?"
"Six, Miss Six." The girl didn't expect a person to appear out of nowhere, and she almost died of fright when she yelled at her.
He stammered back, "Old, master, it's been a month and I haven't returned home. I don't know where the servant is."
"What about the old lady?"
Before the girl could reply, the old lady's cold reprimand came from not far away.
"What's the matter, what's the matter, you've made a fuss as soon as you come back, do you think the house is not chaotic?"
Accompanied by the eldest lady, the old lady walked over, her crutches almost poking a hole out of the floor.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Xiao Ting found that the old lady seemed to have changed.
But I couldn't think of it for a while.
"Grandma, don't give me a hat, I haven't asked you yet, why don't you let me in?"
Xiao Ting let go of the girl and walked over.
She was still wearing plain peasant clothes, and did not accept Concubine Chen's unfriendly 'kindness'.
I always felt that the woman looked at her with deep disgust.
"Who is this child?"
Although Er Gouzi was very lively, it was the first time he saw such a wealthy family, so he was still a little timid.
Hearing this, he cautiously hid behind Xiao Ting, his big bright eyes flickered, he didn't dare to speak casually, and then looked at Xiao Ting.
"He's my brother, why?"
"Everyone thinks you are dead, so how can you come back now?" the eldest lady said.
It's been a long time since I saw her, but she still has a compassionate look, with a sincere expression, but no matter how you look at it, she is fake.
Xiao Ting snorted softly and said: "Don't bother Da Furen to worry about it, this girl will not depend on Xiao's family."
"Since grandma doesn't welcome you, then grandson will leave. This time, I just want to ask, where is daddy?"
She didn't know that Xiao Xin and Xiao Zhan moved to Zhongtian Moonlight Garden.
"Miss Liu's words are really sad." The lady also sighed and said: "Master heard that you were dead, so he searched for your body along the road, for fear that you would become a lonely ghost with nowhere to live. You have left for more than a month with your family's soft silver taels."
Hehe, what you said is really interesting.
This clearly told Xiao Ting that you said you would not rely on me, but your father took money from the Xiao family in order to find you.
But the eldest lady was still too gentle, Miss Xiao Liu didn't understand what she meant at all.
All her thoughts were on what the eldest lady said.
She has always known that Xiao Zhan treats her very well, spoils her and protects her.
But unexpectedly, it has been eight months since the news of her death spread, and her cheap father is still looking for her bones.
Suddenly, a warm current flowed through her heart, and her heart was sweet and very comfortable.
The fatigue along the way was swept away in an instant.
"What about Xiao Ten?"
When mentioning Xiao Xin, the old lady was really angry, "You are the good brother you taught, and he didn't even go home."
The old lady was angry, Xiao Ting wanted to take Xiao Xin with her at the beginning, she knew what it meant, she was afraid that the eldest lady would treat him badly, and Xiao Xin had been close to Xiao Ting since she was a child, she could figure it out.
But what made her angry was that the kid didn't return to Xiao's house after he left the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Originally, they were going to teach him a good lesson, but in the end, the boy never came back even once.
It really pissed her off.
After all, they are the descendants of the Xiao family, but now, in this Xiao mansion, the sons and sons don't return home, and the grandchildren and grandchildren are nowhere to be seen. She doesn't know what evil she has done.
"You said, they lived in Zhongtian Moonlight Bieyuan, which was given by the Ninth Prince?"
Xiao Ting still couldn't believe it.
After getting the answer, Xiao Ting didn't even want to stay for a moment, she turned around and left with Er Gouzi.
But some people just didn't know each other, "Since the fourth sister is back, why should I have a meal with my grandmother, you are not the ninth princess now, are you so busy?"
It sounds like Xiao Ting is not well-bred, but it actually reminds her that now that she is no longer the Ninth Concubine, she should be a man with her tail between her legs.
"Sister is the princess?"
Er Gouzi didn't know about Xiao Ting's past, but now Fang guessed from their words that the little eyes were full of admiration.
"Your sister used to be the Ninth Princess of the Empire. Even her grandmother and mother had to salute when they saw her."
The person who came was Xiao Mei, the fourth daughter of the Xiao family.
When Xiao Ting saw it was her, she chuckled lightly and said, "Is Fourth Sister not married yet?"
In a word, Xiao Mei almost vomited blood, her cheeks were flushed, she was ashamed and angry, this was her greatest pain.
"Now that I'm not too young, I have to find someone to marry quickly. After all, I've been married once. Even if I get married now, I'll still get a pension, which is enough for me to spend the rest of my life in style." Xiao Ting didn't know if the Ninth Prince would abide by the agreement and give her half of the property.
"But, fourth sister, you are different. Your mother can't support you forever, and she will grow old one day. You'd better make plans early!"
After Xiao Ting finished speaking, she walked away without looking at the faces of the remaining women.
What she once said was right, this home was never a place for her to settle down.
After leaving Xiao's mansion, Xiao Ting found Zhongtian Yuese Bieyuan along the road.
She is familiar with this, after all, she lived here for a while before, when the Ninth Prince was in a coma, Rui Shizi visited the palace at night and almost wiped out the Ninth Prince, she was the one who rescued him.
It was also that night that the Nine Princes' Mansion was destroyed a lot, and they stayed here temporarily for repairs.
She didn't know the gatekeeper, she was just about to go up and ask, so don't go to the wrong door.
Unexpectedly, the two gatekeepers stepped forward immediately, bowed their hands in salute, "I will see the princess."
One of them stared wide-eyed, blushed, and said incoherently, "Princess, please come in."
Xiao Ting blinked, took a step back, looked for a familiar place, and found that it was right.
"Are you sick and blushing like this?"
Xiao Ting looked at him suspiciously, and the other person replied: "Princess, don't make fun of him, Ah Liu is excited."
"Excited?" Xiao Ting heard the words, stepped on the steps and walked in.
"I'm not your wife, why are you so excited?"
Ah Liu was almost scared to the ground, he bowed his head and bid farewell to Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting nodded, this is still a familiar place, and Ah Wu walked in with her.
Along the way, introduce the composition and living conditions of the current Bieyuan.
"It seems that I'm not here, these guys are doing well."
It was early winter at this time, although the flowers had been wiped out, the nuclei were still there, and the repairs here were pretty good.
It is very sunny.
she likes.
So, she boasted casually.
Ah Wu replied, "These people were taken care of by the prince. He said that you like shorter vegetation, which looks good on your eyes."
Forehead…
Xiao Ting almost choked, "This girl just said it casually."
She remembered that once when Zhaohua came to play with her, the two of them were sitting in the garden, and she always felt surrounded.
So I complained that the flowers and trees here are too tall and too dense, as if trapped in them, making people breathless and uncomfortable.
At that time, the Ninth Prince and Yuchi happened to pass by.
Unexpectedly, he actually listened to this sentence.
"The prince also said that the princess likes plain colors, so the rooms here are all bought according to his orders and refurbished."
Ah Wu spared no effort to tell Xiao Ting what his master had done.
He was calm on the face, but he was so excited that he was about to faint.
The princess is back, the prince must be very happy.
They never appear in the palace, they only belong here, guard and take care of it.
And what they guarded was never the yard, but the prince's favorite place.
No one knew that during the days when the princess had fallen off the cliff, the prince always came here quietly and stayed in the room where the princess lived all night.
Just sit in front of the bed and watch.
Once, when he came back with diarrhea, he happened to pass by and found that the window was not closed properly, so he stepped forward to close it.
It was that time that he found the prince, who was lying on the bed, curled up into a ball, and the quilt was held in his arms.
He is calling the queen's name.
